Tunnels of Ah - Miniview: Thus Avici

Tunnels of Ah consists of Stephen Burroughs (ex-Head of David) whose debut release came out out via Cold Spring back in 2013. "Thus Avici" continues to follow the presence of self-made magick, as well as practices of Buddhism and Christian mysticism. Like most artists, his sound has evolved into a more concentrated formula with "Thus Avici", although many genres are touched throughout its duration.
While 'At The Error Of The Stars' starts the album with a swishing, pulsing wintry vibe, later songs can go even so far as hitting experimental ('Akeldama') and ritual ambient sounds ('Saint Peter Ha-Satana'). Esoteric sounds will flush your ears as you explore and make your way through the confines of this album. It makes you ponder as to whether or not these sounds are there for you pleasure, or are there to invade and take over your mind.
With songs that will take multiple hearings to take everything in, Tunnels of Ah has crafted a wicked album that will benefit you more with each passing.

info@brutalresonance.comI've been writing for Brutal Resonance since November of 2012 and now serve as the editor-in-chief. I love the dark electronic underground and usually have too much to listen to at once but I love it. I am also an editor at Aggressive Deprivation, a digital/physical magazine since March of 2016. I support the scene as much as I can from my humble laptop.
